Make Sears Your Gift Headquarters
Use Both this book and Your Sears Big Catalog for Complete Selection
We always urge our customers to Shop Early
and Mail Early to avoid the last minute rush at
Christmas. Shop through this Christmas Book
and your Sears Big General Catalog now. List
all the things you want on the enclosed order
blank, or if you don't have a Sears order blank
any plain paper will do.
Simply print or write plainly your full name
and complete address, including rural route and
box number if you live on a rural route. All
members of the family should o.rder under one
name, as it helps us give you better service.
Please be sure to give us the catalog number,
quantity, name of each item, color, size, price,
shipping weight, and any special information or
measurements asked for in the description of
the item you are ordering. Add the shipping
weights of items you are ordering, and change
ounces to full pounds (16 ounces to the pound).
See parcel post rate table for amount to include
for postage as we must pay postage on parcel
post packages before we can ship your mer–
chandise. If you send too much, every cent extra
will be promptly returned to you. You pay only
the exact postage needed for your order.
It is best to send money by U. S. postal notes,
postoffice or express money order, or by bank
draft or check. Your mail carrier will be glad to
buy a postoffice money order for you if you Jive
on a rural route. You can also obtain a money or–
der at your postoffice or from local express agent.
U.S. Postal Notes
The new U. S. Postal Notes are a convenient and
economical way to send money by mail. They can be
purchased at postoffices in any denomination up to $10
for only 5 cents per note. However, you can buy as
many notes as you want at one time. For instance, if
you want to send Sears $15.83 to cover the cost of goods
and postage, you would buy a $10 note and a $5.83
note, which would cost you 10 cents for both. When
using Postal Notes to send money to Sears, write
"Sears, Roebuck and Co." on the line indicated for
name of payee on the face side, and your name and ·
address on the back-then enclose with your order to
Sears, Roebuck and Co.

The postoffice makes the following charges for l\foney
Orders, regardless of where they are purchased.

C. O. D. Orders
Unless there is real need for C. 0. D. service, we urge
you to enclose postal note, money order or check when
you mail your orders and avoid the extra handling and
expense of C. 0. D. orders. On parcel post C. 0. D.
shipments, in addition to the price of the merchandise
and regular parcel post charges, we will bill you for
the C. 0. D. collection fee which we are required to
pay the postoffice. The postoffice also collects a money
order fee for forwarding the total amount to us.
\Ve believe very few of our customers will want to
order C. 0. D. because of the extra cost. However,
when you need the fastest possible service regardless of
cost to you-for example on emergency orders for
repair parts-we will ship C. 0. D.
We do not accept C. 0. D. orders: For less than
S2.00 (except orders for repair parts); for merchandise
that is cut or made to special measurements; for items
that are shipped direct from one of our factories; for
shipment to foreign countries.
